Domino’s lamb has a cute, little floppy right ear.
Crisis over – my mistake
We thought that Domino had given birth to twins but in fact she has one lamb and Cieste is the mother of the other newborn.
Domino was pushing Cieste’s lamb away because she isn’t her responsibility.
Sunrise and the new lambs begin a new day – but…….
I just saw mother rejecting one of the twins (butting it with her horns). My heart fell to my stomach. Rejection is not uncommon but needs to be sorted and we will put mother and lambs into a closed barn. If she still refuses to feed the little one then we will have to take over.

The ducks are spring crazy, flying out of their run whenever the fancy takes them
and laying eggs here there and everywhere.

Using winter stores
Digging up and using leeks before the warm weather makes them bolt.
Stewing Victoria plums that have been stored in the freezer.
And my favourite salad potatoes that have been kept in large paper sacks in a metal bin all winter – Pink Fir Apples.

And a bear came too!
I tested out the new wooden swing (the old swing broke last weekend ).
